Second, Limbaugh speaks daily on a public platform. He makes a lot of comments that are borderline racist and are certainly controversial every single day. Vick certainly has been outspoken since his reinstatement, but i don't think he has said anything bad or controversial.

Third, Vick is trying to right himself it appears. Limbaugh would rather die than change how he is.
They are both "living, breathing, daily distractions".

I'm no fan of Rush. Actually, I think he is a vile person and is a big example of the type of media that has helped foster the polarization evident in politics today.

And if he was an owner of the Rams it would make every one of their defeats to my Niners even more sweet.

But I do dislike the way there seems to be arbitrary character requirements applied.
